The results support the use of workflows to reduce radiation exposure during catheter ablation for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib) while maintaining safety, efficacy, and long-term patient outcomes comparable to traditional procedures.1 1 These included one pseudoaneurysm, one PV stenosis and one hematoma.1

Boston Scientific made what could become a major addition to its electrophysiology portfolio, acquiring AFib mapping startup Cortex, Inc. Cortex gives Boston Scientific a new mapping technology that detects AFib signs and triggers outside of the pulmonary veins, and can help EP teams develop ablation strategies for more complex AFib cases.
